AHHHHHHH….
What a day (and night). The morning started off a bit hectic. I had a few loose ends to tie up this morning leaving around nine and entrusting my children to get their bags together and tidy up a bit before we left. I got home an hour later to find them lounging in front of the TV…NOTHING done! This did not set a sweet tone with me…and to add fuel to my fire…Catherine comes down with her suitcase packed with too many clothes – bulging – not sure it was going to fit in the overhead. PACK light was my motto all week and I was furious! We did not have time to repack so we were one our way – scowls and all. (the scowls finally melted away when all of our bags passed the carry on baggage rule AND all our liquids remained intact) Our flight from Charlotte to Philadelphia gave us only 50 minutes to connect to our overseas flight to Milan. NOT GOOD especially when they told us we were going to have about a 45 minute delay in Charlotte. We arrived Philly and sprinted to gate A19 – a man on the plane told us that it was a far walk and that we should get a people mover to get us there faster – well there was no people mover in sight – just the 5 of us slightly jogging through the airport – yes only 5 because we lost Clark in the midst – he was still looking for a people mover. We made it to the gate and found out that there was a slight delay – mechanical problems (whatever – my fear of flying is way in the past!) BUT a huge blessing for us because as soon as Clark showed up – they had fixed the problem and we were boarding!
The kids were GREAT on the almost 8 hour flight…we had an OK meal, a movie (Duplicity) that we could not follow with all the interruptions– will rent it when we get home, got some sleep not much – the plane was half full so we all got somewhat of our own 2 – 3 seats…AHHHH….our journey continues…we have an hour before we land!
